In our CHP class that is the first thing they taught us. When stopped at night, roll down all 4 windows and place your hands on the steering wheel. This gives the police officer a better view of the interior of the vehicle. I don't blame them for giving tickets we would do the same thing if in their position.
I'm gunna go ahead and ahem ... disagree there ... Personally I think tickets are a waste of time and I certainly wouldn't do the same LOL! Let me ask you this ... after you get your ticket and the whole event has sunk in, do you sit there and regret the fact it happend, from an other perspective than money that is? Are you really remorsefull, did you LEARN something from it? My bet here is no .. we all have a "it's just a ticket" mentality because honestly, that's ALL it is. It's an unforseen expenditure that's more annoying than anything else. There's no ephiphany attached to it, there's no "I'll never speed again" attached to it .. we get our paper copy, and go about our business pissin' and moanin' about the money ... so honestly, what's the point of writing them? Other than the ka-ching aspect that is? Don't get me wrong here, there's definitely a need for it but unless you are some sort of "serial speeder" with really bad luck and get pulled over enough times to where you get your licenses suspended, where's the lesson here? It's not even a real punishment, it's too cheap for that.
I do however agree with the window bit, I do that regardless of the time of day, assuming it doesn't rain that is :-) I may not agree with how things are done at all times but d@mn, if you're caught, you're caught, why make it harder than it has to be? If nothing else showing a little respect, if I get the same back of course, is nothing but common curtesy and like you said, they're just doing their jobs ...
